Is anyone else remaining at school for Christmas? I hate staying here alone during the holiday. It gets so desperately lonely. Shouldn't I be used to it by now? This is my least favourite time of year. I suppose I can use the time to brew more perfume. My supply is getting low.

	I've got a lot of work to do, so I'm staying around. I might see you around the common room! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	All right. I hope so. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm sure we will! Any reason you are staying around? It gets rather empty around the castle but I find that it's a good environment to get a lot done. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	My papa is taking his mistress to Nice. As lovely as the French Riviera sounds this time of year, I don't won't to tag along on their romantic holiday. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The Riviera is always nice, but I can see why you wouldn't want to be a part of that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Indeed. Seeing one's father snogging someone is rather unsettling. Even more so when the woman in question looks like a shaved spaniel. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You brew your own perfume? That is impressive. I've heard the process can be very difficult, not to mention dangerous. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	sappho_or 2007-12-19 05:01 am UTC (link)
	Yes, thank you. I brew all my own toiletries. Lotion, cosmetics, soap, shampoo. It's kind of fun. ~~Would you like to meet me in Hogsmeade. We could discuss it more~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

~~It sounds like it could be profitable, as well.~~ I can imagine. I've always found brewing to be very relaxing myself, though I've not ventured into perfume-making, as yet.

Are you staying for the holidays because of your father's horrid lady friend? (And I hope you'll forgive me if I haven't secured this properly. I am still working out how a Legens operates.)

~~I can't believe you're talking to me!~~ ~~I really like brewing. No, that's a stupid thing to say.~~ ~~Maybe we could brew together sometime? I can show you how to make perfume.~~ I can tell you really like brewing. You have quite the flair for Potions.

[Private to Students]

My Papa is going to be travelling with her, so yes. (If you need help with charming things private, ~~I'd love~~ I can show you, but that reply is fine.)

Thank you. ~~Slughorn makes it difficult to enjoy the lessons, but somehow I still manage to like the subject.~~

Well, I suppose the bright side is you won't have to ~~smell~~ see her until next year, isn't it? (I think I have it now, but thank you for the offer, all the same.)

	That's so true. Slughorn is a disgrace. I hate him. He walked right into me yesterday and said I should be more careful. How did he ever become Head of Slytherin? If you ever do need help, just ask. I would be glad to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private to Sappho severus_or 2007-12-19 05:05 am UTC (link)
	I have no idea. Thank you, again. I will certainly remember that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Our founder is surely spinning in his grave. ~~It's such a relief to know you don't really like him.~~ These books are a mite tricky. Of course, I had one before they were popular, so I've managed to figure them out. I like my new one better than my old one, because it's green rather than garish pink. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private to Sappho severus_or 2007-12-19 05:08 am UTC (link)
	So that was the spinning sound I heard earlier. I think I'd have to agree with you: anything green is better than garish pink. Though perhaps you might consider giving this girl some advice? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private to Severus sappho_or 2007-12-19 05:09 am UTC (link)
	I do believe you're right. Poor, great Salazar. He'll spin his way right out of his sepulcher. It is, indeed. The pink one was from a family friend who mistakenly thought I liked pink. As for this Ravenclaw lady, I will do my best to assist her. Thank you for pointing that out to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private to Sappho severus_or 2007-12-19 05:10 am UTC (link)
	Any time~~, and your response was incredibly helpful~~. I feared I wouldn't be able to explain the process too well, having just learnt it myself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private to Severus sappho_or 2007-12-19 05:10 am UTC (link)
	I'm sure you would have done fine explaining it. You've picked it up so quickly and have yet to err, despite your fears. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private to Sappho severus_or 2007-12-19 05:11 am UTC (link)
	You're very kind. Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private to Severus sappho_or 2007-12-19 05:11 am UTC (link)
	No, thank you. I don't think I've ever been called that before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private to Sappho severus_or 2007-12-19 05:11 am UTC (link)
	Really? I can't imagine why. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private to Severus sappho_or 2007-12-19 05:12 am UTC (link)
	According to popular opinion, I'm a "mean, horrid snob," or something along those lines. They may have said, "petty," too. I don't recall exactly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private to Sappho severus_or 2007-12-19 05:12 am UTC (link)
	Well, if you exchange "snob" for "git," that's fairly close to what they call me. And "slimy" -- mustn't forget "slimy." But I've never set much store by popular opinion. I make up my own mind about things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private to Severus sappho_or 2007-12-19 05:13 am UTC (link)
	Such shameful behaviour! You should curse anyone who calls you that. ~~Or let me. I'd protect you~~ I don't set any store in it, either. ~~What do you think of me?~~ Must be why I so despise Slughorn. That idiotic land-walrus! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private to Sappho severus_or 2007-12-19 05:13 am UTC (link)
	I'm used to it, really. And just so you know, I will never be able to look at Slughorn again without thinking, "Land Walrus!" So, thank you for that, as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private to Severus sappho_or 2007-12-19 05:14 am UTC (link)
	It's still shameful, if you ask me. Did you think my commentary was funny? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private to Sappho severus_or 2007-12-19 05:14 am UTC (link)
	Perhaps so, but I doubt there is anything either of us can do about it. And I did find it funny, as a matter of fact. ~~I suppose I ought to have said~~ Why do you ask? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private to Severus sappho_or 2007-12-19 05:15 am UTC (link)
	I wasn't sure if you found it amusing or if it had offended your sensibilities and you were being sarcastic. I'm glad it was the former. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private to Sappho severus_or 2007-12-19 05:15 am UTC (link)
	Sarcasm is the one part of my reputation that I will proudly claim, but your land walrus comment gave me a hearty chuckle. I was most definitely being sincere, there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private to Severus sappho_or 2007-12-19 05:16 am UTC (link)
	In that case, I will take it as a great compliment. (Reply to this) (Parent)
